Miss Dottie said:I must say, I love your hair! I did from the first time I saw your picture. How long is your hair? How do you have it cut? What do you do to get that?
My hair is rather long and I just can't deal with it and toss it into pony tails on most days. But I'd be willing to cut it in a heartbeat for such a cute look as yours!
Miss Dottie, I'm blushing! Thank you for your kind words!
My hair is just about shoulder length, and cut a little shorter in the back than the front. Since my hair is thick I have it razored a bit to give it a little more body and shape - it also helps when I'm curling it to give it a little more dimension. I'm super lazy when it comes to styling my hair; it's very thick and has a mind of it's own. This style works well wet or dry - I part my hair use barrettes or combs to hold it back. Nothing really fancy! When I pull it back, I twist it loosely and push it forward slightly which gives a tamed version of victory rolls. Then I use a curling iron (or if I'm really pressed for time, I'll use my hot air curling brush) and curl the ends under; the front/sides I'll curl forward a bit to create a little more finished look.
If you're good at pin curls and such, you could definitely do that the night before and then pin your hair back...I'm just inept at making my pin curls look good enough to be seen in public.
